  Description:

    Abstract:

      Most of the Victoria quadrangle lies within an area that

      appears bright on telescopic images of the planet, the

      bright-albedo feature Aurora, which approximately coincides

      with the east half of the quadrangle (Davies and others,

      1978, fig. 11). As is common with most of the imaged

      portions of Mercury, the Victoria quadrangle is dominated

      by basins and large craters, with plains materials

      occupying the areas between them.

    Purpose:

    Supplemental_Information:

      Almost all the pictures acquired by Mariner 10 that were

      used for mapping were obtained during the first encounter:

      those covering the southeast half of the quadrangle are

      incoming close-encounter images, and those covering the

      north-west corner are outgoing close-encounter images. At

      the time the pictures were obtained, the terminator was at

      about long 7° to 8°, within the eastern part of the

      quadrangle. A large gap in coverage between the incoming

      and outgoing images appears as a northeast-trending

      diagonal blank strip on the base map. A small part of this

      gap was filled in the southwestern part of the quadrangle

      by very poor second-encounter images.

    Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

      All attributes created during the creation process were

      verified by displaying the lines in both the database and

      the spatial coverage, but no formal tests were performed.

  Logical_Consistency_Report:

    These data are believed to be logically consistent, though

    no tests were performed. Line geometry is topologically clean.
